PERSONAL STORIES

We invite you to learn about the experiences of some of our former clients. Take the time to view, read and/or listen to some of these personal stories to see the quite varied ways that doing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for social anxiety has helped many people turn their lives around. Each client’s experience working in CBT is unique. Your personal experience is likely to have some similarities as well as some differences to the stories told here.

“People are finally starting to see me differently. I’m pretty confident that there are going to be more great things along the way that are still there for me to discover later.”

Do you have a personal story of learning to overcome your social anxiety you wish to share?

If you are a former client of an NSAC-affiliated clinic or clinician, we welcome you to share your story if you believe doing so will be helpful for you. Sharing your story—or not doing so—will have no impact whatsoever on any future services you may seek from any NSAC-affiliated clinic or clinician.

You may put your story in writing, audio recording, or video. Discuss any of the following: how social anxiety affected your life; what you learned in therapy that was most helpful for you in lessening your social anxiety; how your life has changed as a result of your work.

NSAC reserves the right to decide which stories will be posted or not based on how helpful we believe they will be to other consumers. NSAC also reserves the right to edit for length and clarity, but we will get your approval on any changes before posting your story. All stories will be posted anonymously. Once posted, you retain the right to have the story removed from our website at any time.
